In typical me fashion I probed the internet, sending my little mental feelers out into cyber space to suck up as much information as I possibly could. I emailed several breeders and one emailed me back. I am now on the list for a kit within the next couple of months.
While both the German and giant Angora are primarily fiber pets, they also have been used as a dual purpose meat&fiber breed.
However at $100-$200 each, I can't see keeping these producers of future garments as a meat breed.
My fingers are just itching to twist And spin this Angora wool into something beautiful.
By the way, Angora fiber comes from Angora RABBITS. Angora GOATS produce mohair.

Your talk of fiber animals is like porn to me. PORN! Though, I see furry animals I know are used for yarn spinning and I want to shave them and run away with their fur. Run-by shearing. That's more my style.
